Well, that sux that it's only on in the west, but I'll check Fox at 7 this Sunday to make sure. I hope there is, even thou I'd rather see Jurassic Bark than TMLH because I never saw it and everyone says it's great

But it's on ordinary TV rather than satellite or cable so we have to wait forever for movies and such, including season 4 of Futurama. And I mean airing season rather than production season. So anyone with 3ACV on DVD has seen more episodes than British terrestrial viewers. Which strikes me as rather odd.

Erm, isn't it mainly British viewers that own the 3ACV boxsets anyway?

Also, i hate C4, they cut the episodes too. I know it takes forever, but it will be quicker to download them then to wait for C4 to air them. That and i don't think they're planning on showing the S3 finale, "I Dated a Robot".

I also rely on Channel 4 and I'm certain they haven't aired I Dated A Robot. I think the last one they showed was Time Keeps on Slippin'. It's all a bit irrelevant now that season 3 DVD has been released, though it does leave me worrying that I'll have to wait for the season 4 dvd before I see the remaining episodes.

With reference to channel 4 cutting episodes, after watching season 1 on dvd I thought some of the scenes were improved with their editing (ie the joke actually worked better without the extra bits where they hit it home with a sledgehammmer).When I saw season 2 on dvd however, I noticed they'd started cutting out whole jokes which is taking it too far.

I remember seeing Time Keeps On Slipping, but gods, that was ages ago! C4 are worse than I thought if they've only aired that far!

For syndication you have to cut out about an extra minute of material, so sometimes they have to cut out whole sections, which is slightly more practical than trying to take out tiny spaces and single lines here and there. But I agree that taking out entire sections sort of spoils it a bit.

Sil, you live in the UK, right. By what you've said i'm assuming you haven't yet bought the Season 3 DVD?! Why not? The only episodes you won't get on the DVD that you will get from airing season 4 are Leelas Homeworld, Love and Rocket and Where No Fan Has Gone Before. If you don't have a DVD player get the VHS set.
